How to delete the installed add ins from MS Word document?

Hello Tim,

Thanks for your answer.

I can see the installed add ins but there is no way to remove them. I also tried by clicking on "More add ins" button where I noticed my installed add ins showing as non install. I installed total 4 add ins for testing purpose but now I am unable to uninstall them!!

Regards

Hello

Could be. So I am trying to remove them from the program.

There is nothing in Word Online (Word free via an Internet browser) that adds or subtracts Add-Ins.

There may be browser settings.

I know of no Add-Ins but there may be some. Adding/subtracting them would be done through the Add-In.

Do you have a specific Add-In in mind?

As Stefan has said, Add-Ins are definitely used in the desktop versions of the program.

Add-Ins in Microsoft Word

Add-Ins are not added to documents, but to the program. As far as I know, no Add-Ins are added to Word Online which is a web application.

Hi Md M,

I'm Tim, an Independent Consultant here and a Microsoft user like you. I don't work for Microsoft and do not have access to any of your data on their system.

In the newer versions of MS Word, including Word Online, the process of removing add-ins may vary slightly.

Here's a general method you can try if different to the one already carried out:-

1. Open your Word document.
2. Click on the "Insert" tab in the top menu.
3. Look for the "Add-ins" group, which may be located under a different tab such as "Home" or "Insert."
4. Click on the "Add-ins" button or a similar option that opens the add-in pane or task pane.
5. In the add-in pane, you should see a list of installed add-ins. Locate the add-in you want to remove.
6. Look for an option like "Manage My Add-ins" or a gear/settings icon associated with the add-in.
7. Click on that option or icon, and you should find a "Remove" or "Delete" option.
8. Confirm the removal when prompted.

I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further or If you find it helpful, you can mark this comment as the answer.

Kind regards

Some add-ins have a separate uninstall program which you can access via the list of installed apps in Windows Settings.

Generally, to get rid of all add-ins, you'll need to move any templates out of Word's Startup folder (unless you intentionally put a template there yourself, of course). Also, get rid of COM add-ins; see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/word/issues-when-start-or-use-word#option7.

As far as I know, there is no support for add-ins in the online version of Word, if that is what you are running.
